It’s a heck of a way to run a pre-election campaign. On the eve of an expected election, politicians usually spend their time playing up good news, downplaying the bad, shaking hands and kissing babies.

Photos: When calm returned to Boston

A dramatic manhunt ended Friday night with the arrest of a second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. Police took an injured 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to hospital after a violent day that saw his brother and fellow bombing suspect, 26-year-old Tamerlan, killed. The brothers are suspected of carrying out Monday’s marathon bombings, which killed three people and wounded more than 180 others. The men are also suspected of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer late Thursday. On Saturday a sense of calm returned and people remembered the week’s events.
